This just blows me away. I started this blog as a way for me to journal my thoughts, to grow internally, and to really start opening up (even if its with the WorldWideWeb alone and never read). So when I got 5 followers...well, you should have seen me. I was freiking out. Boyfriend can attest to this. I was super excited, amazed, and panicked. It was hilarious, looking back. I got over that in about a day and just kept blogging, trying not to think of the fact that someone out there might actually read what I write.
Took a wee holiday break, and by holiday break I mean I had the holiday/winter blues and didn't feel like doing anything. Last week I logged onto Blogger again and saw that I now have TEN followers. TEN! It makes me giggle. I love it. Ten chicks, all to myself haha. Know that you will always be My First Ten and this means more to me than I can express. Thank you.
I've been talking about finishing my Bachelors Degree for a few years now, but just recently my friend Julie lit a fire under my butt. I'm doing it! I'm applying for Fall 2010 admission to finish that darn thing, if it kills me. To gear up for starting school again I've signed up for a class at one of our junior colleges.
I'm going to learn French!!
This is something I've always wanted to do, since at least 4th grade, so I'm pretty excited, but also nervous at the same time. I'm decent at languages but if I suck it'll really bring down my GPA. Oh well, I've put my ankles in the cement, there's no going back now. I start January 25th. Fingers crossed. And wish me luck.
catch up on all my blog reading (I really miss those girls)
catch up on my list of things to post
catch up on some rest and time with boyfriend
All in preparation for my new 2010 goal, thanks to my friend ALu - to make a blog post EVERY single day starting January 1st! We're going to do it together and it'll probably end up in a challenge because one of us is bound to skip here and there. And by 'one of us' I mean that it'll most likely be me.
Daisy, give yourself away Lookup at the rain The beautiful display Of power and surrender Giving us today And she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day Comes up from the ocean Give herself away She comes down easy On rich and debt the same And she gives herself away
Let it go Daisy, Let it go Open up your fist This fallen world Doesn't hold your interest It doesn't hold your soul Daisy, let it go
Pain, give yourself a name Call yourself contrition Avarice of blame Giving isn't easy Neither is the rain When she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day? Why another sunrise Who will take the blame For all redemptive motion And every rainy day When he gives himself away Let it go Daisy, let it go Open up your fist This fallen world It doesn't hold your interest It doesn't hold your soul Daisy, let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go And you let it go, go Let it go Let it go Let it go, go Let it go Let it go
Some days I feel like Daisy and they’re speaking to me, urging me to just let it go. Let go of all the stress, the worry, the tiny things I agonize over. I need to learn to just let some things go. I know its woman-nature to add extra worry to things, but I really wish it wasn't. Does anyone else have these problems?
Some mornings you just need a good song to be there for you. This is one of my favorites, I just love her voice! I’ve listened to it 3 times already on my iPod mini I bring to work with me.
Here are the lyrics, but you really should hear it – try googling it (I can’t do it for you b/c I’m at work right now, sorry).
You Never Know Rachael Lampa
I'm following the lines looking for the answers to a prayer I'm looking for the signs waiting for the signal that ur there If you ask why I believe - the only thing that I could ever say
You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found And you're not looking And all I know it's outta my control And you never know
I try to figure in the time When miracles should happen to appear And when it comes down to it There's nothing more that I can do down here I wanna place it in your hands Even though I wanna understand
You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found And you're not looking And all I know it's outta my control And you never know
If you wanna spend your life In your design, you're only wasting time
You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found And you're not looking And all I know it's outta my control And you never know
PS "I Like Big Butts" came on after and totally popped my zen bubble LOL
